Treating diabetes mellitus (DM) with Chinese medicine (CM) has had a few thousands years of history.

In the following article, the prevention of DM using CM in the past 5 years is retrospectively studied, and mainly focuses on the usage of simple Chinese herbal extracts or monomers in terms of cellular as well as molecular biology.
